Two undated photographs showing a celebration at the hospital. My mother, Catherine is pictured on the left at the front.
I don’t know what they were celebrating, could it be 1945?

My mother Catherine worked as a nurse at Stockton and Thornaby Hospital from about 1943 until approximately 1953(?) where she had many happy memories.
She always spoke so highly of the support she received from the hospital, as she was allowed to continue working there when her first child (my late half-brother) was born out of wedlock in 1946. My mother fought for her right to keep her baby despite the social stigma at the time.
